Moshman, David – New Directions for Child Development, 1986
Proposes six legal principles of children's intellectual rights that can be derived from the First Amendment. Argues that only the government (including public schools) is constitutionally obligated to act in accord with these principles. Proposes that the principles can serve as ethical guidelines for parents and private schools as well. (NH)
